Life Sentences Handed Down in Multiple Murder Cases

A series of recent court rulings in India have resulted in life sentences for multiple individuals involved in separate murder cases. In Srinagar, two men were sentenced to life imprisonment for their role in a 2011 murder, along with additional prison terms for abduction and extortion, with compensation ordered for the victim's family. In Agra, a woman and her lover were convicted for the 2020 murder of her husband, receiving life sentences and fines. A Gurugram court sentenced two men to life imprisonment for the murder of a man in 2023, which occurred after a money dispute related to drugs. These cases highlight ongoing issues of violent crime across the country and the judicial system’s response to such offenses.
